Ihave received the manuscript.

Iam sendingNeue Zeit+2 Austr. books (I shall ask for them
again, but later on: will let you know).

Wehave written to
				James.[1][2]

Asregards writing for the legal collection, I’m afraid I won’t manage
it.

Sendme a list of the articles forour Sbornik.

Youcan’t invite Guilbeaux to contribute: he’s a wind bag; we may
disgrace ourselves. We had better wait.

Didyou send UsiyevichPod Starym Znamenem?

FruAlexandraKollontay.

Turisthotel.Holmenkollen.

Kristiania.

Didyou send aformalletter to Bukharinofferinghim
to publish a discussion
article?[3]It is absolutely necessary to send him a formal letter and
keep acopy(send it to me). A polite letter, of course, saying
that we are replying to Radek’s theses in any case (to hint that he can
wait untilthisdiscussion is over if he wants).

Haveyou a set ofNashe Slovo?

SinceKonferenz has been substituted for Kriegs-Parteitag—this smacks
of a semi-deal with the Kautskyites.

Whatis this about your being unwell? You must go toSahliwithout failandstrictlycarry out doctor’s
orders! Show this to Zina.

[2]Thisrefers to the letter to Anna Ulyanova-Yelizarova asking for
information about the Volna Publishers and about the identity of
P. Ryabovsky, who had offered Lenin and Zinoviev to contribute to the
symposiums put out by this publishing house =

(see Note 478).

[3]Bukharinwrote an article “A Contribution to the Theory of the
Imperialist State” forSbornik Sotsial-Demokrata, but owing to
its fallacious anti-Marxist propositions on the question of the state and
the dictatorship of the proletariat the article was rejected by the
Editorial Board.

No.1ofSbornik Sotsial-Demokratacarried Radek’s “Theses on
Imperialism and National Oppression” published in the journalVorbotein April 1916 over the signature of the editors ofGazeta Robotnicza. Lenin’s article “The Discussion on
Self-Determination Summed Up” published inSbornikdirectly after
Radek’s theses was a reply to them.
